The Dragon Bravo Fire has burned more than 8,500 acres southeast of the Grand Canyon. The fire was sparked by lightning on July 4 and has destroyed dozens of structures on the North Rim, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge.

Firefighters are battling a lightning-caused wildfire on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The Dragon Bravo Fire has burned down the Grand Canyon Lodge and triggered a chlorine gas leak.

A growing wildfire at the Grand Canyon's North Rim has now charred at least 50 structures, including a historic lodge inside the popular tourist site.

Crews fighting a wildfire were focused on stopping the flames from consuming nearby cabins, a water pumping station, mule stables and other structures, fire officials said.

A wildfire in tinder-dry forest on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon grew by around 50% today after it destroyed dozens of buildings, prompting public outrage that it was left to burn for a week before firefighters tried to fully extinguish it.

Fire activity on the Dragon Bravo Fire, located at Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim, remains “extremely active,” according to an incident update Monday.

Gov. Katie Hobbs wants an independent federal investigation on the handling of the Dragon Bravo wildfire, which has burned more than 5,700 acres as of Monday.

As of Monday morning, officials confirmed that dry conditions and erratic winds have since allowed the White Sage Fire to burn 49,286 acres with 0% containment.
